I continue to thank you so much for praying.

today, both at church and at the hospital, we thank God for progress. I know we gotta keep a growth mindset even as we pray for a full recovery and healing. We celebrate the little steps toward victory.

listen, I am not going to lie to you. It is totally crazy to see my dad having to be turned and cleaned. It is utterly insane to see a patriarch like that. And yet, he is alive and improving and for that I rejoice with you! Thank you for praying for him to get better! Tomorrow God-willing will be my first “work day” with my Papa, so I’ll keep you updated on what that looks like. I definitely sat and watched a rom-com tonight to kinda soothe the soul even as I texted the parents of my sheltered class (those I didn’t talk to last week). It’s wild to tell them I am not going to be teaching their kids anymore because I’ll be with my dad in the hospital. It’s totally crazy that one month has brought about such a big change. And yet here I am, here we are, and it’s happening. I get to be with my dad tomorrow!!
